The Flare - 5e Race

# The Flare

Flares, made from the rage of gods. They were created to try and attain immortality. Although the ritual backfired, two beings merged a god's power within a mortal body. Flares have no memory of this ritual, and lose most of their true power due to their weak body.

Flares have similar looks to that of Fire Genasi with a red skin complexion, although their hair is not a brilliant fire pattern, but one shade.

##  Made not Born
Flare's were created through an ancient ritual once preformed by gods. Therefore they cannot sustain a population easily, their ritual can be and is preformed by flares but they overall power is lowering. They feel no connection to their old race, nor their own. They life a life of solitude, and will rarely join a group in order to avoid insanity.

The ritual to create them involves the merging of 2 beings, one creature of non-magical origin, and one being of magical origin. Both beings need to be in proximity of each other for 2 weeks, and after a short incantation, the forms will merge. The main body is that of the non-magical being, allowing Flares to take nearly any form.

## Flare's Mind
When a Flare is created both the memories of the beings is nearly lost. Their head is filled with the language of Ignan or Primordial, a name, and suffering. They are rather intelligent, and absorb knowledge quickly, but will never remember their past.

#### Flare Names
Flares names come from the magic that created them, and are based on the magical beings power.
